Its just past four on a sunday afternoon and THE WIFE is having one of her post-lunch pre-dinner naps... its unbelievable how much a pregant lady can sleep... she is feeling better though, she is not throwing up as often, in fact, after she stopped taking milk and the folic acid pills, she has not been puking at all....
we went to the doc last thusday, exactly 12 weeks into our pregnancy, 4 weeks after our 3rd appointment. it was our 4th visit to the doc. there wasnt too many people on a weekday afternoon, i finally got a chance to sit infront of the tv in the waiting room... as we were into the 12th week, THE WIFE have to do a pee test... there i was, in front of the tv, NOT able to channel surf, reruns of johnny english is not my idea of good tv
we went into the docs office after the pee test. after the usual pleasentries, THE WIFE hopped on the bed and we are looking the screen again...
doc: hmm, everything looks okay
me: huh-huh.... (thats the best four words you can ever heard from any doctor, follow closely by "dont worry, its free")
doc: heres the spine, the head, theres two hands, two legs, fingers and toes.... everything looks good....
me: huh-huh... (i was just starting at the screen, its IS the first time i am seeing junior as a human form, it took me ability to speak away)
doc: do you want a boy or a girl?
THE WIFE: its fine, as long as the baby is fine, we are fine with a boy or a girl...
doc: well, heres the legs.... lets see if we can see anything in between.... nope, i cant really tell, maybe next visit we can see something... or not....
we fixed our next appointment four weeks later, and as the nurse was giving me the prescribe iron pills, she passed me a box of milk powder for pregant ladies and said "dont worry, this is free". what are the odds of hearing two best words in one afternoon?
